Why does Albert Lea have so many Library employees?
Albert Lea Government keeps growing in all areas as our population keeps dropping. Property owners keep taking the hit.
It's not just the local gov't, take a look at the nat'l level as well. Not only do we get nailed on local taxes (property, local sales tax, etc...) we are going to get nailed at the federal level too, do you think all those cazrs work for free?
-------------- After we screw up health care reform, let's take on the initiative of unscrewing the education system (gov't education) Tacitus: (c. 56 AD-c. 117) "The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates."
you mean: "respectfully, Your neighborhood criminals" I get a kick out of people who sign things in a way that makes it look like absolutely everyone is behind their ideas. There are places to save money, but I for one, am happy to pay for police and fire. When the poo hits the propeller, it is nice to have. Think Austin fire. I also compare it to not changing the oil in your car to save money... kind of a false sense of savings.
The other thing: I listened to the scanner for not more than two minutes and I realized that people in Albert Lea (and probably much of the rest of the world) can't seem to work the smallest things out with their neighbors, get their kids to go to school or to bed, break up with girlfriends/boyfriends, or solve the most rudimentary civil concerns without police assistance. I would focus more on why our neighbors continue to strain the system. We want want want and no one seems to want to pay for it all.
Trust Me!! Home owners already pay dearly for services. Yes services are needed but whats the CAP?? When does Albert Lea Leaders step in to stop the GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT or to reduce the size?? The PAIN should not always fall on the home owner........ Crime in Freeborn County would be limited statisticly without a HUGE Law Enforcement Agency.
Policemen and policewoman are many things: sons, daughters; fathers, mothers; uncles, aunts; and sometimes even grandfathers or grandmothers. They are protectors in time of need and comforters in time of sorrow.
Their job calls upon them to be diplomats, psychologists, lawyers, friends and an inspiration to us all. They suffer from an overdose of negative publicity about brutality and dishonesty.
All too often they suffer from the notoriety produced by unfounded charges. Their acts of heroism go unnoticed and the truth is buried under all the criticism.
The fact is that less then 1 percent of policemen ever discredit their uniform. That’s a better average than you’ll find among the clergy today.
Policemen and policewomen are ordinary guys and gals who are called upon for extraordinary bravery. To many of us, their job may sometime seem routine, but the interruptions can be moments of stark terror. They face crazed gunmen, rescue lost children, challenge a mob and risk their necks more often than we realize.
They stand between the law abider and the law breaker. They are the prime reason your home hasn’t been burned, your family abused and your business looted. Try to imagine what might happen if there were no policemen or policewomen around.
Show them how much you respect them. Offer them a smile and a kind word. See to it that they don’t have to be magicians to raise their families on less-than-adequate salaries. They deserve your respect and your profound thanks.
I think policemen and policewomen are great. I thank God for all the little boys and girls who said they wanted to be police officers when they were growing up.
I hope you feel the same way.

One needs to only read the New Testament to see the problem that has been created over the last two centuries within the churches.
Hey, Psst. Breeze. What's that got to do with having too many?
-------------- Actually my wife is especially happy when my google check arrives each month. Thanks to douchbags like you, I get paid just for getting you worked up. -Liberal

What's really interesting is to read between the lines with breeze propaganda.
1. Notice the place the letter comes from. Calabasas...stronghold of multi million dollar McMansions behind gated communities. These folks can NEVER have enough police. There's gangs in LA and rich folk don't wanna play with no gangs you see. So of course this writer is on praise of cops just like Mike Jackson is in praise of prescription drugs.
2. It tells us about who breeze is. A closet racist, a neocon, a religious bigot...well...pretty much everything the whole country ran away from last election! LOL
